Me as a Teacher

I teach Japanese and translate it together with my husband. I gained insight into how foreigners experience Japan and its language by teaching Boeing employees in Nagoya and Syrian family. I like to use illustrations to help students understand difficult concepts, as can be seen in my books. In April 2019, I began creating four-panel comics and articles related 2010 Working for relocation company Cartus Cartus 2012 Top Language Teacher Club Italia Nagoya Co.,Ltd. 2016- Published six textbooks Japanese textbook "practical Japanese " "practical Japanese 2 " and 3 " easy and fun katankana" "hiragana" "kanji" 2019 manga (short comic)has been serialized in a website "Matcha"

My lessons & teaching style

For formal lessons, I make individual lesson plans for each student and use pdf, real-life materials (menus, etc.) and textbooks. For informal sessions, I don't make lesson plans. Students prepare a topic and focus on conversation. Informal sessions are aimed at intermediate to advanced students, as a certain level of proficiency is required to manage a somewhat fluid conversation.

I had another delightful lesson with Kiyomi-sensei! We translated a part of a video on making sumeshi. I am happy to have Kiyomi-sensei as a teacher and as a friend!
